Keep Calm and Curry On

Keep Calm and Curry On British style curry dishes served at our pop up events in Santa Cruz, CA.

The Great British ‘curry house’ was popularised by Bengali immigrants just as the British were starting to get over their war rationing induced fear of flavour. What started as a cautious adaptation for British palettes has now become a flourishing cuisine of its own and ‘going for a curry’ is a traditional British pastime. Standard Curry house dishes are named with little regard for their origina

l counterparts (if they even exist) and each restaurant is distinguished not so much by its menu but by its own particular ‘curry base’ sauce. We hope you like our version, which has a particular emphasis on black cardamom for a smokey flavour. Our chicken tikka is baked in a wood fired tandoor oven before being added to the curry and our base sauce is made from local seasonal vegetables. We buy our spices through a local merchant before roasting and grinding them ourselves for all our marinades, sauces and chutneys.
